Hi, This message was held because it had attachments that weren't allowed. I'll try to get the pictures added to the wiki later today so everyone can see them. Mary Sue PBS List Administrator From: Ron & Marina Moodycliffe <lilium at alphalink.com.au> G Day to you all from Down Under in Australia John Bryan makes mention of Lilium Canadense & describes it with Yellow tepals & purple spots . OK The spotted varieties can be anywhere from yellow to red with many combinations in between . We have a bulb of L Canadense Imacculatum which is a pure sulphur yellow with no spots . It seems to be self infertile as we are not able to set seed on it from it's own pollen . Does anyone on this list have a similar one that we could obtain pollen from ?Spotted var hare all set seed & we have distributed some to our Lilium group this year Where does it actually originate from, EG, State. Here in Melbourne we have many Species (all from imported seed )but very few that have set seed . We germinate them in Styrofoam fruit boxes & grow them on until they are too big to stay in there then transfer them out under Rhododendrons or into beds out in the open with pine needle mulch .We had a few Orientals fry in last summers' 44c heat We do not have cold problems ,no snow but wet winters so we cover the seed boxes with agricultural plastic over wire hoops ,Cloches ,or miniature tunnel houses .I will tack on a picture Kind Regards Ron & Marina Moodycliffe
